RANGE SAFETY

General

Install or locate the range only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions. The range must be installed by a qualified installer. The range must be properly connected to the proper gas supply and checked for leaks. The range must also be properly connected to the electrical supply and grounded.

Gas fuels and their use in appliances can cause minor exposures to benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and soot, primarily from incomplete combustion. Significant exposure to these substances could cause cancer or repro- ductive harm. Properly adjusted burners with a blue, rather than a yellow, flame will minimize incomplete combustion. Venting with a hood or an open window will further minimize exposure.

Do not store things children might want above the range. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it.

Do not leave children alone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range. They could be burned or injured.

Do not operate the range if it is damaged or not working properly.

Do not use the range for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.

Do not attempt to light the oven burner during a power failure. Personal injury could result. Reset the oven controls to the off position if there is a power failure.

Use the range only for its intended use as de- scribed in this manual.

Do not touch surface burners, areas near surface burners, or interior surfaces of oven. Areas near surface burners and interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface burners, areas near surface burners, or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the range, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, the cooktop, and the oven door, could also become hot enough to cause burns.

Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite if they touch an open flame and you could be burned.

Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces could result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holder touch an open flame. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a pot holder. It could catch on fire.

Keep range vents unobstructed.

Do not heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury.

Use only cookware approved for oven use. Follow cookware manufacturer’s instructions, especially when using glass or plastic cookware.

Do not store flammable materials on or near the range. The fumes could create an explosion and/ or fire hazard.

Do not use the oven for storage.

Do not use aluminum foil to line area around burners, oven bottom, or any other part of the range.

Never use a match or other flame to look for a gas leak. Explosion and injury could result.

Know where your main gas shutoff valve is located.

When using the cooktop

Make sure the cookware you use is large enough to contain food and avoid boilovers and spill- overs. Heavy splattering or spillovers left on a range could ignite and burn you. Pan size is especially important in deep fat frying.

Check to be sure glass cookware is safe for use on the range. Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for cooktops without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings. A boilover could result and cause smoking and greasy spillovers that could ignite.
